Hi everyone, my name is Limo as in "Stretch Limo". Although I am short in stature I make up for it in loving!

I love being around my foster mum and am her shadow where ever she goes and when she stops and sits I'm right there beside her, at her feet. I have a foster dog sister who has been great for me as she has taught me things like how its great going for a walk and when it's the time to remind mum to go for a walk. Initially I was scared to go outside the yard but she has shown me how to smell the roses and anything else I can on these walks. In my forever home I'd prefer to be either with a doggy friend or have my humans around most of the day to keep me company and also to boost my self-confidence.

I am very shy when I meet people for the first time and can appear a bit standoffish. I was even like this for my foster mum, but she ignored me at first and just made sure that I had all I needed to feel safe and secure and I gradually warmed up to her.

If you're looking for a companion who will never leave your side them I'm the one for you, but remember it will take me a little time to warm to you so you will need some patience. I am unsure and a bit nervy when meeting new people for the first time and will bark at them if they come to my home, but if I meet them in the street then I will sometimes hide behind my foster mum, until I am confident to meet them. Loud noises can make me nervous - I don't like lawn mowers and vacuum cleaners and will get out of the way of theses monstrosities!

My finest quality is my loving and loyal nature. I am very content to sit on your lap and get patted all day or until you need to get up for something. I love giving cuddles and kisses and am genuinely a loving little man.

Due to my interesting breed mix I do have malformed front legs, and this may lead to arthritis later in life, so it's important that my weight is carefully managed. No strenuous exercise for me either, but I do enjoy a nice little walk.

If you are looking for a loyal and loving new man in your life then look no further, I'm the one for you.

Limo is $350 to adopt, and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated and given flea, tick and worm preventatives.
